Literally the exact same situation for me! The homeowner then proceeded to show off their weed plant haha

I found one at a flea market for 5 dollars and everything still works. Literally insane

Almost the same for me, I recently found mine while cleaning my house, I'm not really into photography, but this might change my mind, cause I'm really interested in learning more about this camera.

Same jw where does the battery go?

An awesome camera and even better it was free!

if you sell it, he will haunt you.

LaDonna2007 that s cheap!!

You have to realize how lucky you are! I bought one for $162

Lucky Af I’m about ready to buy one for $200

M it’s a perfect camera for getting into film photography. Thanks for stopping by and have fun!!

Dude wow!! I literally am having the hardest time finding it for anything under 300$...and of course online purchases make the whole process feel sketchy!

Couldn’t have said it better! Thank you so much for stopping by!!

@@DaveMontejano just trying to do my bit to bring people back to the good life before the year 2000. I thought about it the other day and I would say nearly every aspect of life has gone downhill ever since. Part of life back then was hanging out at the local photo shop. That experience is now extinct! The amount of people I socialized with, just over photography was immense!

@@voxpathfinder15r I miss the old camera stores with all the equipment and color pamphlets from the major manufacturers. I really miss the used camera department.

Is this the same as the AE1 program ?

@@variousvisfineart kids these days have no idea what they’re missing

Super duper deal with cheese!!

😂oh man that’s right!! I haven’t thought about this editing blunder in a long time. Thanks!

@@DaveMontejano The first nine and a half minutes make up for it ;)

DanFlan not sure if lcd is the right word. It’s more like illuminated numbers inside the viewfinder. Very easy to see.

That’s amazing! When I bought the camera it came with the lens cap.

@@DaveMontejano thanks Dave. I got lucky after doing some researching. Yes, as mentioned I purchased in early '84 and don't remember the cap but now that I have found one it will add more sentimental value. My photo club buddy and I will be doing a old-school film photography.

Ebay, can be tricky if you are just starting out. I know Etsy usually has plenty of film cameras. I personally always try to buy local. Like OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, and even craigslist.

@@DaveMontejano thank you so much for the help!

Thank you! I’m glad so many have found this helpful.

It's for shutter priority. You select the shutter speed, and the aperture is chosen by the camera. Or program mode where the camera selects both shutter and aperture for correct exposure.

Incredible deal!

@@DaveMontejano i did? how much did i save?

@@calilforniasurf6155 these are going for at least $100-$150 these days.

Wow that is great! Im excited to get started. Im going to put aome photos on my website www.jmnydistribution.com Where is a good place to start?

What isn’t it doing? Like it won’t fire? Lights don’t come on? Need some more info.

I bought mine locally on Facebook.

Glad you liked it!

Camera only uses battery when shooting or turning on the light meter. once you stop pressing buttons it will turn off and not use battery.

That’s all wins there friend. Thanks for stopping by. Happy shooting!

Built in flashes are always kind of bad quality. This is the better camera than one with built in flash. If you are a beginner then this is the perfect camera to start learning.

Buster Photo alright thank you! Definitely buying one :D

Great question. I’ll try to answer it as best I can. First with this camera. This camera has a built in light meter so it will tell you, or if using the program mode will choose these settings for you. That’s for this camera specifically. Now if we go back a couple of decades there was an era without light meters. So there were rules that you went by depending on the light that was available. For example the sunny 16 rule. Or the f11 if it’s cloudy rule just to name a few. These rules made it easy for situations where the light was plentiful. This was also the era of one use flash bulbs. These usually came with a guide for recommended settings for a certain distance away for the camera. It wasn’t always perfect because sometimes folks would misjudge light and distance but for the most part things were ok. Now if we go back even more to the beginning of photography, there was a time when only professional photographers had cameras. These folks used cameras so much that it was easy to judge light by sight and make the right decisions. Which is a skill that could be developed in any era of photography. You take so many pictures that you begin to have a feel for what settings to use with trial and error. I hope I didn’t fall of track there and that answered your question. Let me know if you have anymore. Thanks for stopping by!

You can use any 35mm sometimes referred to as 135 film. Color or black and white. The palmist popular one nowadays is Portra 400 by Kodak. Just make sure it’s 35mm/135 film. A cheaper option would be colorplus 200. My favorite black and white film is Tri-x by Kodak and Hp5 by Ilford. By locally if you can otherwise b&h photo has the best online prices. Avoid Amazon. It’s a rip off.

I’ve never seen one that wasn’t green. But if it says program it should work the same.

@@DaveMontejano Thank you !

Sounds good to me.

@@DaveMontejano thanks ill take it before could take it😅😅😅

That is what they are going for these days. So I’d say yes.

Maidi Anelē round it on Craigslist I think.

Have you replaced the battery yet?

not too easy, you need to remove the entire top off the camera, then slide then pin out..avoid it if you can... unless you are good at fixing things. if you live in the UK, i will fix it for free if you have a new door ( they are hard to find )

I found a door and actually just barely had to take the top off and slid the door on and attached it to the pin. Thanks!
